1 When Israel came out of Egypt, ♦︎
the house of Jacob from a people of a strange tongue,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, ♦︎
Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw that, and fled; ♦︎
Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, ♦︎
the little hills like young sheep.
5 What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? ♦︎
O Jordan, that you were driven back?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams, ♦︎
you little hills like young sheep?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, ♦︎
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Who turns the hard rock into a pool of water, ♦︎
the flint-stone into a springing well.
1 Alleluia.
Praise the Lord from the heavens; ♦︎
praise him in the heights.
2 Praise him, all you his angels; ♦︎
praise him, all his host.
3 Praise him, sun and moon; ♦︎
praise him, all you stars of light.
4 Praise him, heaven of heavens, ♦︎
and you waters above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord, ♦︎
for he commanded and they were created.
6 He made them fast for ever and ever; ♦︎
he gave them a law which shall not pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ♦︎
you sea monsters and all deeps;
8 Fire and hail, snow and mist, ♦︎
tempestuous wind, fulfilling his word;
9 Mountains and all hills, ♦︎
fruit trees and all cedars;
10 Wild beasts and all cattle, ♦︎
creeping things and birds on the wing;
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, ♦︎
princes and all rulers of the world;
12 Young men and women,
old and young together; ♦︎
let them praise the name of the Lord.
13 For his name only is exalted, ♦︎
his splendour above earth and heaven.
14 He has raised up the horn of his people
and praise for all his faithful servants, ♦︎
the children of Israel, a people who are near him.
Alleluia.
